Notes:
a) Do not over bake the cake they can turn dark brown, chewy and flat. An extra 3 minutes turned the color of my cake . Each oven is different so temperature & baking time can vary , so keep and eye.
b) Do not boil the syrup till thick then the cake will not absorb the syrup. Syrup should be sticky thin syrup.
c) Soaking the cake a bit long will taste even more better instead of enjoy it right away.
d) Milk quantity may differ so add accordingly to get the right pour consistency.
